Bloomberg Unveils Extreme Gun Control Plan

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Steve Watson

Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg has announced a radical anti-Second Amendment program, calling for outright bans and a requirement for every gun buyer to obtain a permit.

Appearing in Aurora, Colorado Thursday, the location of the 2012 movie theatre shooting, Bloomberg vowed to put an end to a "nationwide madness" where firearms are concerned.

"I'm just getting started," Bloomberg declared, adding that "As president, I will work to end the gun violence epidemic once and for all."

"I promise you I will never back down from this fight," he said. "That's the kind of president this country needs and you deserve."

Bloomberg went on to outline a gun control plan that includes every proposal that has ever been attempted, and has failed.

These include proposals to:

Reinstate the federal ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

Require every gun buyer to obtain a permit before making a purchase.

Require point-of-sale background checks on all gun purchases while closing the gun show loophole.

Institute a new age limit of 21 for those wishing to buy handguns, semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.

Require a mandatory 48-hour waiting period for all gun purchases.

Institute a federal "red flag" law to deny permits to "troubled people who pose a danger to themselves or others."

Institute a temporary ban on gun possession for those convicted of assault or other violent misdemeanors.

Ban all guns in K-12 schools, colleges, and universities, except for law enforcement.

Reverse the law that gives gun makers and gun dealers immunity from lawsuits.

Create the position of White House gun coordinator "to mobilize the public to fight gun violence and launch an inter-agency hub to fight gun violence."
